Manage episode 400445771 series 3418151
Ever wonder what it'd be like to celebrate Valentine's Day with a pickaxe-wielding psycho miner on the loose? Sarah, TJ, and Axel certainly didn't sign up for that kind of love triangle! Join Ana and Jimmy, as they crack open a cold Moosehead beer and traverse the shadowy tunnels of the classic '80s slasher "My Bloody Valentine." It's a blood-curdling journey through the film's release, its quirky East Coast accents, and those hilariously dated taglines! You'll chuckle and shudder in equal measure, so brace yourself for a nostalgic ride that's equal parts terror and humor.
Now, you might think a trip to the mines is a no-go, but what if the story behind Valentine's Day in this small, eerie town is too intriguing to pass up? Their screening reveals a tale that's survived the test of time; from the bizarre opening to the dance preparations that are a cut above the rest. They debate the merits of the theatrical versus unrated versions, admire the practical effects, and can't help but laugh at the film's campier moments. And don't forget Mabel, whose character gets a special shoutout—because what's a horror flick without memorable townsfolk?
So grab your hard hat and a loved one—preferably not a pickaxe murderer—and get ready to unpack the twists and turns of the miner's bloodstained saga. They dissect the film's chilling climax, the reveal of the miner's identity, and the spine-tingling escape that leaves us wanting more. "My Bloody Valentine" may have been a low-budget affair, but will it be worth a 'buy it' or "skip it" rating? It's a Valentine's Day you won't forget, so join them for the terror, the laughs, and a celebration of horror that's close to the heart—literally.
